Thursday, October 27, 2011: We wrote the Chemistry unit test. We will take it up in class tomorrow. No homework. We may start the new unit (Climate Change) tomorrow.
Wednesday, October 26, 2011: We reviewed for the test tomorrow! See the handouts from the past two days (or any other day this unit, for that matter) if you need to study more!
Tuesday, October 25, 2011: We wrote a (surprise) practice quiz, to see how ready we were for the Unit Test on Thursday. Here is a copy of the quiz, and the answer sheet. If you need answers, I wrote correct answers directly on the quiz you wrote today. Quiz:
Friday, October 21, 2011: We saw and began writing a version of last year's Unit 2 Test. The Chemistry Unit Test for us will be on Thursday, October 27. Here is a blank copy of the mock test:
Thursday, October 20, 2011: We learned to name covalent compounds. Homework: Finish the sheet that was handed out today in class.
Wednesday, October 19, 2011: We learned about neutralization reactions and applications of acid-base chemistry in the real world. Homework: Predict the products of the following neutralization reactions:
Tuesday, October 18, 2011: We took up the homework, then learned more about acids and bases: 8 acids we need to memorize the names of; and an introduction to the pH scale. No homework.
Monday, October 17, 2011: We learned how to identify chemical reaction types. Handout:
We were introduced to acids and bases (identifying them from a molecule's chemical formula). Homework: Page 227 #2abcd, Page 228 #1,5ad,8. We agreed, as a class, to have the Unit 2 (Chemistry) Test on Thursday, October 27.
Friday, October 14, 2011: We had a work period for a new assignment, about Oil Spill Remediation. Assignment sheet:
. Due Monday, Window of Opportunity open until Wednesday.
Thursday, October 13, 2011: We reviewed double displacement reactions and were introduced to Synthesis, Decomposition and Combustion reactions. Extra practice questions (not checked, but recommended): This PDF (link) #1,2,4,6,8,11,13,15-22,24-26,29,30.
Wednesday, October 12, 2011: We reviewed single displacement reactions and were introduced to double displacement reactions. Homework: Finish the back of the sheet handed out on October 7 (posted below).
Tuesday, October 11, 2011: We learned about single displacement reactions. Homework: Finish the sheet that was handed out in class today:
. Your homework is to balance the first 8 equations on the sheet.
Tuesday, October 4, 2011: We learned about ionic solids - how to name them, and their properties. Homework: Finish (a) to (u) on the "Naming" side of the handout. Also, Page 151 #1, 4, 5ac, 6abc, 7ab. Page 150 #10bef. Handout:
Monday, October 3, 2011: We learned how ions are formed, and how to convert ionic compound names into chemical formulas. Homework is questions (a) to (v) on today's handout. Handout:
Friday, September 30, 2011: We reviewed the Grade 9 Skill of drawing Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams. Chemistry Unit starts Monday! Here is a copy of the worksheet, filled in, for students who were not here:
